Decent slow spreading groundcover. Some flowers earlier in the year. Likes shade can tolerate some sun. Some insect and disease problems.

This plant is probably hardy to zone 3. It makes an awesome groundcover. The foliage is a waxy dark green. It grows very well in full shade. It prefers somewhat moist conditions. It cannot tolerate hard soils (clay). It reaches a height of 10-12". Blooms are inconspicuous.
